Technically, no.

The previous (and documented) behaviour of --no-man was "Prevents the
creation of man pages"; it had no effect on their installation.  This
may not be the best design but at the tail end of a release candidate
cycle for 2.6.2 we're looking for things with a _very_ small behavior
footprint.

The change I proposed after talking it over with Nick takes things
back to the way they were for non-MSWin systems and produces the
desired results (no man page installation) for MSWin systems.

If we want to change the definition of --no-man (no objection from me
here), uncomment the man-page creation code, or anything else of that
sort we should have a ticket for it targeted at Statler, and not slip
it in as part of a fix for a fix for MS windows support.
